Description
Stephen Mulhall's On Film explores the philosophical aspects of cinema, examining how films themselves can engage in philosophical inquiry. This third edition expands on earlier editions to include new chapters on various film franchises, including Jason Bourne and Star Trek, as well as Ridley Scott's Prometheus. Mulhall reappraises key issues in film theory, such as the impact of digital technology on cinema, the nature of sequeldom in mainstream contemporary cinema, and the genres of science fiction and thriller. By applying philosophical concepts to these topics, On Film offers a unique perspective on the medium of cinema. This book is an important resource for anyone interested in philosophy, film theory, or cultural studies, as it demonstrates how philosophical ideas can enrich our understanding of cinema.
